Thanks for the hint: Maybe this is still worth a try! My understanding is that this AppImage system simply tries to pack all dependencies into one single package and run it in some kind of container. Still nice to hear that also the Shotcut tool is working for others! The point is that I was looking for an alternative for a more sporadic user. In other words: It is a bit a question of good luck if you get it running or not on a Linux system!īottom line: If you do not want to fiddle around endlessly try to find another software - which is not so easy!īlender works well - but for a sporadic user like myself it always means to redo a 2-3 hours tutorial before I can do a little 10min video cut or editing - because the user interface is so far from anything you know from any other place! But once you are there - nothing to complain of course. However, from what I see on the web site it looks to me like the Windows and maybe Mac versions are much more seriously maintained, while for the Linux world they are trying some packaging tricks in an attempt to be mostly independent from what the underlying system is offering - and this is of course a dangerous and not very reliable approach. The link for automatic update is not working in my software: If I click on it - the software simply disappears (crash). And ParaView which is also rather demanding regarding video output - has not the slightest compatibility issues. Sure this is not a dedicated high-end graphic card which you might buy if you are doing video editing every day, but it is definitely more than the required version 2.0. OpenGL Renderer: Mesa DRI Intel® Ivybridge Mobile OpenGL Version: 3.3 (Core Profile) Mesa 17.0.5 OpenGL Vendor: Intel Open Source Technology Center For example “ParaView” finds the following OpenGL information: I mean I can accept that with lower performance hardware you have lower performance, but if I see the “Shotcut Minimum Specifications” they are absolutely met. Many others have posted in here having problems with low end computer specifications as well. Last words: I do not want to be rude with or frustrate the volonteer developers who might not see themselves able to fix the software: I am always very happy with all the work they are putting into a lot of powerful Open Source software - and I am trying to add my own share on other construction sites! Still I am now trying to find another video editing software - simply one that works. In other words: It is a killer bug and should be kept open until somebody finds a real solution! Because also restarting the app is not a workaround - because the problem remains after the restart: The timeline is not sometimes not working, but never working at all - from the very beginning. Overall this is a pity, so I simply want to reopen the issue because for those who are affected it is not just a little nuisance, but it makes the software plain unusable. Still it might of course be some specific OpenGL function - no idea. Later discussions (like here were closed even with a simple link to the other unsolved thread, so it looks to me like the developers have the impression that they “have done what is possible”!Īnd no, it is also not “poor OpenGL” I would say because I am working with rather demanding OpenGL software (ParaView) every day on the same computer. This is a pity because otherwise the software looks promising!Ī search has only shown me that this killer but was already discussed years ago (like here), and it seems that it happened on many systems, but the discussion was closed without a solution. And this is exactly what I see right now with Shotcut (version 17.05.02 on a Lenovo Thinkpad 430s, 64bit, with OpenSuse Leap 42.3 system).Īnd this bug is plain simple: for me Shotcut has no functional timeline - and with this it is simply not a video editor! It shows only the word “Timeline” - and does nothing. A killer bug is the opposite of a killer feature: a reason why a software is absolutely unusable.
